Abstract Introduction Radiation‐induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) is a chronic, progressive, irreversible lung interstitial disease that develops after radiotherapy. Although several previous studies have focused on the mechanism of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung epithelial cells, the essential factors involved in this process remain poorly understood. The DNA‐dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA‐PKcs) exhibits strong repair capacity when cells undergo radiation‐induced damage; whether DNA‐PKcs regulates EMT during RIPF remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of DNA‐PKcs in RIPF and provide an important theoretical basis for utilising DNA‐PKcs‐targeted drugs for preventing RIPF. Methods DNA‐PKcs knockout (DPK−/−) mice were generated via the Cas9/sgRNA technique and subjected to whole chest ionizing radiation (IR) at a 20 Gy dose. Before whole chest IR, the mice were intragastrically administered the DNA‐PKcs‐targeted drug VND3207. Lung tissues were collected at 1 and 5 months after IR. Results The expression of DNA‐PKcs is low in pulmonary fibrosis (PF) patients. DNA‐PKcs deficiency significantly exacerbated RIPF by promoting EMT in lung epithelial cells. Mechanistically, DNA‐PKcs deletion by shRNA or inhibitor NU7441 maintained the protein stability of Twist1. Furthermore, AKT1 mediated the interaction between DNA‐PKcs and Twist1. High Twist1 expression and EMT‐associated changes caused by DNA‐PKcs deletion were blocked by insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1), an AKT1 agonist. The radioprotective drug VND3207 prevented IR‐induced EMT and alleviated RIPF in mice by stimulating the kinase activity of DNA‐PKcs. Conclusion Our study clarified the critical role and mechanism of DNA‐PKcs in RIPF and showed that it could be a potential target for preventing RIPF. |
